I just encountered this again when editing a table on a wiki. Especially in table cells it is tedious to have to manually select the contents of a table cell.

We could trivially extend the functionality as it has just been implemented so that each subsequent click beyond the third expands the selection to the next block parent. Might be useful for selecting multiple paragraphs within a table cell, table rows, full tables etc. Or might be annoying. Thoughts?

Merged and will be pushed to production in a few minutes.
